Looking for a superior audio experience? Bang & Olufsen has exactly what you need. BeoLab 9 is designed to fit in a spacious living room. Combining superior sound with freedom of use and placement, Bang & Olufsen always manages to present impressive designs.

BeoLab 9 can be used in a surround sound setup (front or rear), or it can prove to be a fully capable stereo music system. It works flawlessly with other signature models and connects easily
to non-Bang & Olufsen equipment, as well. This hi-def sound hardware is integrated into a conically-shaped cabinet that holds the mid-range and bass units. On the top of each speaker unit, one can find a lens that could be compared to a lighthouse reflector. This lens is used to disperse the treble in an arc of 180 degrees.

According to Bang & Olufsen, "the pleasing organic form of BeoLab 9 is largely dictated by its function. The shape is designed around the sound to ensure an absolute minimum of distortion and a maximum of depth and detail. There are no superfluous bells and whistles, just honest materials serving their purpose while looking good in themselves. The acoustic lens head is made from machined aluminum and solid cast zinc with a durable matt chromium finish." High frequency sound is more sensitive to reflections from floors and ceilings and to the listener's position, so the treble benefits the most from Acoustic Lens Technology. The speakers' height is perfectly positioned at a seated person' s ear-level. The enclosures are fabric covered and one could choose from black, dark grey, blue and red colors.

As you may be familiarized with Bang & Olufsen's style, prices for their products aren't suited for mere mortals. BeoLab9 makes no exception here, sporting a breath-taking $9900 tag.
